The Xella Silka Element Challenge
A one-bedroom apartment block will be built in just one day in a world first construction demonstration, the Xella Silka Element Challenge, for visitors to see at the South East Construction Expo in Ardingly, Sussex on 26th September.
Masonry Frame Systems (MFS), specialist masonry frame practitioners, will be working against the clock, constructing …..
….. all the structural walls of the apartment, showing just how impressive the latest technology in Xella Silka large-format masonry blocks is, using Lissmac mini-cranes to lay each block in about six minutes.
Leading lights in the construction industry will be joining together at the one-day South East Construction Expo 2019 at the South of England Event Centre in Ardingly for the second year after a hugely successful event there last year, when over 2,000 leaders from the region’s construction industry met buyers, explored new projects, networked and sampled the industry’s latest technology.
The trade show, will showcase the region’s largest range of construction products and services and is a ‘must visit’ for anyone in development, property and construction.
An exciting programme of speakers includes Florence Hubert, Deputy Agent for Central Southern England at the Bank of England giving an ‘off-the-record’ briefing on the outlook for the UK economy followed by a questions and answers session. Heathrow Airport will also be speaking about their expansion and opportunities for construction companies.
This year, the Expo is also holding the South East Construction Awards, which will be celebrated at the Expo dinner.
Before the awards dinner, sponsored by Willmott Dixon, the Expo will offer a full day of useful activities. Not to be missed are the free Meet the Buyer appointments (over 600) with the top construction companies in the country. Other attractions include great exhibitor packages, brilliant networking opportunities, high quality workshops, plus the latest news on projects and developments across the UK.
